Bara Beach
Restaurant
😠 Returning in the evening, I did not find my things in the hostel. The next morning I found out that the cleaner for some reason took them and put them somewhere. They returned them to me after threats of calling the police and 3 hours of searching. And for some reason, there was no phone charger...

Chamis Place by Coworking Space
Hostel
😠 One star is fine due to the fact that the food itself was good.
About weeks of traveling through entire Sri Lanka without any problems, eating at Chamis Place was a disaster.
First of all the level of mosquitos was enormous. However, acceptable as this is Mother Nature.
What in contrary is unaccep...

When I was there a big group of people stayed for weeks at mellow and kinda know each other and are not that interested in meeting new people. The place didn't give me the typical hostel vibe. The owner is a foreigner...

Villa Vidura
Hostel
👍👍 The place is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood, some minutes walking from the city center, but it is worth the effort or just drive by bus or taxi. The room was clean, the bathroom is nice, with western toilet and a good shower. Fair price for travellers and an amazing hospitality. Residency...

Jungle Beach Hostel and Campsite
Hostel
👍 Great service, good place. Cheap as well. Breakfast was large enough. Value for money. But it would have been a bit more cleaner, specially the bath rooms. Given it is about 16$ a night, with no aircon, cleanliness would have made this place great. But hey its good for back packing as well.

Beach Camping Balapitiya

🫤 Not worth a penny you spend there.
The caretaker/owner is not responsible at all.
Charcoal is not enough for the BBQ. Even the chicken are not marinated properly.
They are not providing enough water as well.
The bonfire will not last 10 minutes.
The lunch & the breakfast they given was the only...
